I have been troubleshooting an issue where FreeNAS occasionally crashes on one machine (runs stable on a second that I have set up). As an experiment, I ran NAS4Free on this machine. But, that also crashes.
There seems to be a significant difference in how crashes are handled between FreeNAS and NAS4Free. In NAS4Free, the panic text was saved to the log files and the system automatically reboots itself. FreeNAS seems to get stuck showing the "db>" prompt with all services unavailable.
The server I'm setting up only receives rsync updates. So, it may be a tolerable scenario that it reboot itself from time-to-time, as long as it gets itself back on-line without me having to manually reset it every time.
Is it possible to configure FreeNAS so that it reboots itself when a crash like this occurs, similar to NAS4Free?
